I am now rereading your message.... Is that what you were referring to when you said only try to use policy routing hacks (not tested). e.g. tag all outgoing packets with a specific fwmark that redirects them to a specific routing table which does the real routing, and put no routes into the normal one used by arpfilter so that it doesnt' reply. I am not familiar with policy routing.

Well that at least makes sense as to why it's not in there. Thank you for all of your help.
